Picked mine up today, it was really nice to meet Matt and other members from AZ Trail Association. I have to say, I am blow away with the quality of this book. I'm comparing some of it to recent hikes that I've done and in the info is spot on. Kudos! All the hard work paid off beautifully! :thanx:

We just got home from REI and the booth where Matt and Sirena are selling books and greeting everyone. It is heartening to see all the interest in the book and the AZT! And the book looks GREAT! Even if you knew nothing of the Trail, this book would get you excited about it.

Sold out when I got there at 6pm

@Dave1 How could that be? We were there until 6:30 and had plenty of books left. So sorry you didn't get one!

It was so wonderful to meet all the folks this weekend who are excited about the AZT! I talked to so many people who are in the process of hiking, biking, and riding the trail, people who completed it long ago and are pleased to see how far it's come, and people who are dreaming of the day they can start.

Special thanks to all the HAZers who came out! It was great to meet in person people who I've chatted with on HAZ for years.

Great stuff happening with the AZT, just wait until you hear what we've got in store for 2014!!

@sirena
I asked an employee if they had any left, he said they only got about 30 and sold them all earlier in the day. He said store employees bought most of them.

@Dave1 Such a bummer and completely untrue! We had plenty of books and were there until 6:30. PM sent.
